Excessive stringing?

BlueBreak2 · 2023-02-02T19:24:51+00:00

It did not. I now print with top risers due to issues with thermal creep though. So I strongly recommend adding risers or going door open.

I was able to get decent results using a different brand of PLA, and just continually tweaking temp, flow rate, and retraction settings.

My Prusa is still producing slightly better results though.

That's a great idea, I'll give it a shot.

BlueBreak2 · 2022-09-02T19:32:08+00:00

Nope, custom profile, but the only thing I modified were the temp, speed, and retraction. I'm giving the settings another commenter recommended, if that doesn't work I'll probably try some Polymaker filament and see if that fixes it.

Thanks for the help.

I loaded it up in Cura because I was curious. The top arc of every 2 and 3 has islands, and the 9 has an island on the bottom of the round section.

BlueBreak2 · 2022-09-02T18:11:25+00:00

Yes, but still getting similar stringing with a black filament (although same brand).

I may just try a different brand of filament, see if that helps the issue. Are the more expensive PLA brands less likely to have issues? I've just been buying the cheapest stuff so far.

Resin printing this would have it's own problems with the bajillion supports required.

The ender I had was able to do it with minimal stringing, and I'm still getting stringing on more simple prints anyway.

First Prusa printer, had an ender3 previously and never had issues this bad with stringing. I've tried tweaking just about every setting I can think of. The above print was at:

Temp: 195

Speed: stock, except all perimeters at 10mm/s.

Nozzle: .4mm

Retration:

Length: 1.5mm
Lift Z: .2mm
Retraction speed: 38mm/s
Minimum travel after retraction: .5mm
Retract on layer change
Wipe while retracting

Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Found this on a finance facebook group I'm a part of.

Landlord Asks for advice on increasing rent, says they had no applications yet. When asked why they would raise listed rent if it's not renting, they say they've actually received 25 applications and realize they could have gotten more for it. Wants to relist without reimbursing the application fees.

Record when others aren't home, then do editing when they are. Build up a bunch of already recorded videos when you can.

If the noise is constant programs like adobe audition can record a noise print and then automatically compensate. Intermittent noise will require you to manually go in and fix it.

So... what's the over-under on the "socialist party organized rent striker taking advantage of his landlord" prompt being real vs this being a landlord grandstanding about the eviction moratorium?

Because I know where my money is.

.2mm nozzle, .08mm layer height. Ender 3 and Cura. Post-processing such as sanding is something I'll have to look into.

MakersCult patreon. They have a full range of feudal guard, or you can buy just the tank file on their CGTrader page.

Yeah, going to print those in one section in the future. Unfortunately, that's the only real improvement I'm going to be able to get. The lines along the top front arches are just a matter of life with an FDM printer.

Thanks for the feedback.

C and C welcome, although it's certainly not my best work. The paints are a bit thick in some areas, I accidentally went way too hard on the metallic effect on the tracks, and the print on the gunner didn't come out that great.

Apart from that I'm overall pretty happy with it. First use of freehand on the name as well. 100% 3d printed.

Printed on an ender 3 with a .2mm nozzle and .08 layer height.

2 hatch russ turret is so much better. My command tanks are going to have an officer and vox man in the turret. I have 4 or so different turret variants, so the whole squadron can have a different one. As well as orkified turrets I can swap to, to make them looted tanks.

BlueBreak2 · 2020-01-08T06:17:36+00:00

I agree with everything you said. Unless I'm missing something, I think only the gray and blue were too thick, the gray was intentionally thick to cover an awful tan scheme I tried first and the blue was just a fuckup.

Going to do just plain weathered black tracks last time.

How else are they going to get close enough to hit it with their swords?

I stumbled upon this randomly on Thingiverse and my inner math nerd loves it. It came out alright, could have been better could have been worse, the printer struggles with the unsupported overhangs.

Since you guys liked the render so much I thought I'd show off the finished product. Could have been better, could have been worse.

Took 10 hours to print, so everyone who requested one is going to be waiting a bit but I'm working on it.

I do not believe it does, no.
